Lately » Rentacoder rant
There is a hot thread at the Evolt.org list. It started as a a rant about the site rentacoder.com. I must admit, I also tried rentacoder.com, but gave up after two or three unsuccessful bids. Who can build the world for less then 100 bucks? Somebody might, but not if you live in Canada, where a dinner for two costs pretty much the same.
Of course, the thread gradually evolved to a discussion about contemporary economics and offshore development, a hot topic indeed. Supposedly, 1 in 10 tech jobs may move offshore! As much as it may seem worrying for those who live in developed countries like me, we should not complain, because we cannot stop the process anyway. We need to adjust, specialize, and innovate rather then try to protect something that we already have. Will all web development projects be moved to India and Russia, because it's cheaper over there? I don't think so, but I might be wrong. And, if I am wrong, then I'll probably move there too, in the near future :-)

I am sorry, but I had to disable comments to this post. This topic was never intended to be a place for personal wars but rather my experience with the above site.
